Free for Kindle:

Dream Angel US DE by Mary Ellen Dennis, a prequel to her Sourcebooks published historical romance The Greatest Love on Earth.

Sean Kelley had a dream. He wanted to own a traveling circus, the finest in the world. He wanted to work for P.T. Barnum’s Museum in New York City, America. Someday, when Sean had learned all he could about showmanship, he wanted to establish The Sean Kelley Circus.
And he wanted Angelique for his circus.
In truth, he wanted Angelique for his wife.

Dream Angel opens in 1850 Paris. Attending the Nouveau Cirque, Sean sees Angelique for the first time and, in less than an instant, he knows the beautiful rope walker is the love of his life. Due to a wretched misunderstanding, Angelique travels to Connecticut, America, to live with her Aunt Bernadine. Sean emigrates to NYC. Employed by P.T. Barnum, Sean recruits singer Jenny Lind (“The Swedish Nightingale”). Sean is reunited with Angelique, but he learns that her aunt has promised her to a wealthy plantation owner. Heartbroken, he assembles a traveling circus.

Angelique’s cruel aunt is murdered and the dastardly deed is blamed on 7 cats, named for the days of the week. But the police soon realize that a person stabbed Bernadine—before she was clawed by the cats—and when Angelique is the number one suspect, she poses as Jenny Lind’s personal tour servant and trails Sean across the USA.

Dream Angel is the prequel novella (short book) to Mary Ellen Dennis’s 1875 circus novel, The Greatest Love on Earth, starring Angelique’s equestrian daughter, Calliope.

I've read this one. It was published as a Harlequin Silhouette Desire from 1998 titled The Heiress Inherits a Cowboy and it's a modern western. I enjoyed it very much.

And another contemporary by Carol Grace which at least I do not have so far:

Trouble in Paradise US DE. I expect as usual with Carol Grace romances that this is a reprint of an older book under a new title.

Back from serving on the front line in the Middle East - cowboy Quincy McLoud comes home to find a sassy, sexy female has taken over his ranch and turned it into a resort! He'll do anything to get it back including some dirty tricks. What he can't do is fall for the new owner, gorgeous Abby, but how can he help it when she needs his expert help to tame the land. All he has to do is hold onto his hat and keep his heart safe. What are the chances?

Wyoming Tough by Diana Palmer is on sale for $1.35! This one of the latest of the Long Tall Texan series. I am slowly making my way up the series. Diana Palmer pioneered the modern western romances genre. I think I paid around $6 for the book when it first came out. If you want a paperback version it's on sale for $1.42.

I've never read Diana Palmer, but according to a list I am looking at, the Texas series was published in 1988. Johanna Lindsey's Brave the Wild Wind came out in 1984.

It's a huge series I think there are 40 books now. Wyoming Tough came out last year. That makes it one of the longest running romance series I know of. The earlier books are from the late 80s. Her heroes smoke alot! I am sure the newer books don't have that and more P.C. than her older books. I've about got them all thanks to FW coupons

Tough to Tame is also on sale for $1.03.

Some repeat freebies at Amazon today and some (at least for me) new freebies:

Amanda's Blue Marine US DE by Doreen Owens Malek, a contemporary romance.

The Raven and the Rose US DE by Doreen Owens Malek, a historical set in Ancient Rome.

Wild Hearts US DE by Virginia Henley, a Scotland-set historical.

The Last of Lady Lansdown US DE by Shirley Kennedy, a Regency romance. It appears to be self-published, but Kennedy has published a number of Regency trads with Signet.

In the dawn of the Regency era in Northern England, precious few mourn the sudden and shocking passing of the Earl of Lansdown. Certainly not Jane Elton, the young and beautiful widow whose life he made a misery. After her initial relief, Jane must contend with an unexpected and devastating reality: because she is childless, she and her family must descend several rungs down the social ladder. One hope remains. Could she be pregnant? A son would inherit; otherwise the title and estate will go to the Earl’s slightly younger twin brother, his greedy wife, and many unpleasant offspring. Jane must also contend with the unrealistic hopes of her bitter and ambitious mother and dowerless sister. Enter Douglas Cartland, a notorious rake with a tragic past. During these first months of widowhood, Jane’s conduct must be above reproach, but she cannot keep her distance. Especially when Cartland contrives to turn up everywhere she looks. Is Cartland really the scoundrel everyone believes him to be? Will Jane forfeit her title, her family’s fortunes and her reputation for the sake of forbidden desire? Fate--and Cartland--have many surprises in store.

Down Jasper Lane US DE by Kate Hewitt, a historical set in 1900s Vermont and Canada which was first published under the name Katharine Swartz in 2009 by Robert Hale.

In 1904 twelve year old Ellen Copley and her father leave the sooty rail yards of Glasgow for a new life in Vermont with her aunt and uncle. Yet within weeks of her arrival she is abandoned by her father, living with inhospitable relatives and unwelcome in town.

Then her Aunt Rose invites her to stay with her boisterous family on Lake Ontario's Amherst Island, and Ellen begins to find the love and acceptance she'd long been craving. Soon she is living a fractured existence in both Vermont and Canada, torn between happiness and duty. When a local boy lays claim to her heart, Ellen must decide just where her destiny lies in a changing and increasing turbulent world.

Originally published in hardcover and written by USAToday bestselling author Kate Hewitt, Down Jasper Lane is the first book in the Amherst Island trilogy.
